Welcome to
Elmwood Franklin School

Here you will begin to discover all of the great things that make EFS the premier independent preschool to eighth grade school in the city of Buffalo.
Elmwood Franklin is a caring and inclusive community of families, students, teachers, staff, and alumni who share ideas, value differences, and work in partnership to create an outstanding environment for our students to learn and grow.
Elmwood Franklin School offers a comprehensive academic program, led by our top-notch faculty, paired with a strong emphasis on citizenship and good character. The school balances its rich and storied tradition with a 21st century approach to teaching and learning. Curiosity is rewarded, risk-taking is encouraged, and challenging assumptions is expected. As a result, our students become confident, resilient, independent thinkers.
Whether you are a prospective family, a current family, or an alum, there is always something to learn about our amazing school. This includes everything from the admissions process to our educational philosophy to school life to supporting the school to following us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
I invite you to come visit our campus in person to learn more about or re-discover what it means to be part of the Elmwood Franklin community. And if you are already a part of our wonderful community, I thank you for your support!
See you soon,
